Start with a bell pepper. I'm not a big fan of bell peppers in general.... but it goes great with a warm sandwich like this, so I chose to use orange bell peppers since it's a little bit sweeter and tastes greaaat roasted.
Slice open the bell pepper, hollow and throw away the seeds, then 'julienne' as the pros say...ooo fancy way of saying slice into damn thin slices hahahah. Just see the picture below ^ ^
Heat a small spoonful of oil in a frying pan and stir fry the pieces of bell pepper until they're slightly browned and roasted looking.
It's best to use fresh sliced deli chicken, but in a bind or on a budget just regular sandwich chicken/turkey slices will also work. If I have a rotisserie chicken I will also use fresh slices ^ ^
Separate the deli slices (whatever you decide to use) and toss it into the pan along with the bell peppers. Remember since it is already cooked, it doesn't need to be cooked for that much longer, just enough to turn a little brown.
After about 5 mins, long enough to heat up the deli slices and you can break up the pieces a little and evenly spread the bell pepper and turkey. Place slices of a cheese of your choice (here I used fresh pepper jack cheese) on top. Cover the frying pan, turn off the fire, and let your cheese melt in the heat for 3-4 mins.
If you like to toast your sandwich bread, this would be the time to throw it in the toaster. Yaay uncover the pan!! Mmmm nothing looks better than juicy, melted cheese :D
Line the toast with veggies of your choice, like lettuce, romaine, or in this case I used spinach. Use tongs and place a good amount of turkey and bell peppers on the bed of spinach.
Voila! A warm toasty turkey melt sandwich for lunch! Soooo simple :D
Happy Thursday everyone!!
